Yeah I agree on the long belt runs everything is just tacked together. For the most part it’s a copy of a kit made by I believe ict industries

Going to do some junk yard scrounging for a couple smaller idlers

Was even thinking of trying to lower the alternator location a bit.

Of course I welded everything up over built as usual and the mounts warped. So bessy clamps to the rescue. Of course after welding everything in place I remembered I had never leveled any thing left to right. Which was good because we kind of went by eye. After we leveled everything it was still minty lol

Worked on it a bit yesterday night didn’t take any pics as my boys were with me which means I spend almost more time trying to keep them alive as working on it.

“I wanna help daddy” hahaha i love my daughters but “help” aint really the right word for it lol maybe when the younglings get older thatll actually mean help. I give her a wrench and tell her to tighten any boot that fits... ill end up losing shit now thats been loosened

For those budget minded stock rzr seats would be good to. Especially in smaller rigs.
